ABSTRACT:
A method and means of improved drywall or wallboard construction is shown and described wherein the edges of adjacent wallboards are first mounted to a series of vertically spaced strap members affixed between, and spanning, adjacent typical wall stud or ceiling stud members. The strap members are each provided with a centrally located recessed area. The wallboard edges are then screwed into the recessed area of each of the strap members to form a recessed butt joint which can then be rendered flush by conventional means.
The method and means of the invention permits the bending of wall board and forming of a recessed butt joint without setting up high stresses in the wallboard. Any stresses are adequately offset by the strap member which is substantially rigid, and reinforced, as well, in its central recessed area.
